In a tragic drunk driving crash, two young men, John Reynolds and Tommy
Rivers, were unfortunate victims due to the negligence and misconduct
of driver Hector Botello, Jr. Our legal team was tenacious in our pursuit
of justice on behalf of these young men. Botello, Jr. was employed by
Sage Enviro Tech, LTD when he crossed the Interstate 20 median, causing
the deadly crash. Despite his history of alcohol abuse, Botello was still
hired as a driver by the company.

Attorney Jamie Moncus had this to say on the matter: “A simple background
check could have prevented such a tragedy. We recently marked the third
Christmas that the families of John Reynolds and Tommy Rivers were without
their husbands and fathers, all because of a company’s failure to
be careful in hiring drivers. It is our hope that this settlement provides
needed support to families whose loved ones were taken from them far too
soon.”

Botello, previously convicted of a DWI, walked away from the crash with
minimal, non-life threatening injuries. Our team was able to reach an
$11 million settlement with Sage Enviro Tech.
